The Cranberry Area Toastmasters meeting on February 4th was a special occasion for several reasons. To begin with, it was the very first time that we had managed to meet in person in the new year, and it became a time for many of us to reconnect after the holidays and the reclusiveness brought on by the severe cold in January.

Not only that, but this first in person meeting of 2025 succeeded in setting the tone for the year when no less than six visitors walked through the doors! We were very grateful to welcome Mario Rubino, Susie Conley, Julie Evanich, Mandy Sizer, Mario Wilfong, and Sherri Inman as guests to our meeting. All of them seemed to enjoy themselves and let us know that they felt very welcome and encouraged to practice their public speaking skills.

And as if all of that wasn't enough, we were lucky enough to be spectators to a practice run of a competition speech given to us by Mario Rubino, who plans on taking his riveting and compelling performance to this year's International Speech Contest.

Thank you once again to our guests and to everyone who makes our meetings possible. Cranberry Area Toastmasters is dedicated to aiding any individual who desires to join the chance to improve their public speaking skills, whether the goals be of a professional variety or more of a desire for eloquence in one's personal life. Anyone is welcome. Feel free to visit us!

After our meeting on November 4th, our president, Stephanie Scott, posed with our guest for the evening, Julie. Many people walk through our doors at Cranberry Toastmasters, and just about all of them are seeking the same thing: self improvement. If you desire to improve your public speaking skills, if you want to become a more effective communicator and if you want to make some friends along the way, then join Julie and visit us at Cranberry Toastmasters.

After our meeting on September 17th, club president Stephanie Scott posed with our newest member, Wandy Byerly. We're honored to welcome Wandy to Cranberry Area Toastmasters, a place where individuals congregate to improve upon their ability to present themselves in a wide variety of situations. All of us are looking forward to learning more about our newest member and watching her grow as an orator. Welcome!

Jim Hulings, Vice President of Education, gave his final speech in his path, Engaging Humor. During the speech, Jim shared with us his journey through Toastmasters over the last 9 years, and expounded upon the transformation that he experienced in that time, from a meek public speaker who had panic attacks whenever he had to present anything before others, to the accomplished orator that he is today. All of us at Cranberry Area Toastmasters are fortunate to have Jim in our club. He truly is an example of the club motto personified: Toastmasters, Where Leaders are Made.

During our meeting on August 6th, one of our newest members, Melanie Juarez, gave her Ice Breaker speech. Here she is with our president, Stephanie Scott, receiving her Best Speech ribbon. We're thankful to have Melanie as a member of our organization, and we look forward to watching her grow as a public speaker.

Michael Nelson did a great job as a General Evaluator at our last meeting. The role of General Evaluator is a great opportunity to work on your summarization skills, offer critical feedback on the meeting in its entirety, and offer all of us in the club a means by which to reflect on our performance throughout the night. Thank you to Michael, a very eloquent and valuable member of our club, for performing this role.

On April 2nd, Cranberry Area Toastmasters celebrated its 30th anniversary. Here in the picture, Stephanie Scott, one of our senior officers, prepares the cake for the celebration. Our club has been providing an environment for members to grow for decades, pushing individuals to improve themselves through the art of public speaking. It has produced many successful practitioners of oratory, including district leaders and international speech contenders, and we look forward to fostering leaders of the future.
